Microsoft Anti-Piracy Hooks

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

There is this yutz who is making a claim of getting Win-XP Pro from
E-bay for $55. I am highly skeptical, especially when he told me
that he does not even need to activate it. Sounds phony to me but I
need a bit more to make sure.

Is it true that the Corporate version does not require activation,
maybe that is what he got?

How about any hooks that Microsoft puts on the software - The
holograph could not be duplicated, at least as far as I know unless
it is a very sophisticated operation.

What other anti-theft hooks can I inquire about, I almost have him
convinced it is a pirate copy but need to get a slam-dunk.

You might also want to ask him if the copy he is selling is an OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer) version or a FULL RETAIL version. If it is an OEM
copy of the software then it would not need to be activated since it was only
meant to be installed on the computer that it came with. The other thing
that you could ask him for is the part number of the product that he is
selling since they should all be the same for a particular release of Windows
XP.

He may well have done so, but it's not likely to be a legitimate
license, at that price, unless the seller was really desperate.

Your skepticism seems to be well-founded. One should be very careful
buying any software on eBay, as eBay makes no prior effort to ensure
that such sales are legitimate; they react only when someone files a
complaint. (And then all that really happens is the seller of the
pirated software returns using a different alias, to continue selling
illegitimate licenses.)

Actually, there is no such thing as WinXP "Corporate Edition." That is
a term applied exclusively to pirated (iow, stolen) copies of the Volume
Licensed WinXP Pro by the "warez" aficionados. It's true that the Volume
Licensed version of WinXP Pro doesn't need activation, but this product
is available only through specifically licensed vendors, and one must
purchase a minimum of 5 licenses. Further, the VL license is only an
upgrade; you must already own a license for the qualifying products.

Many thanks to all who responded, I just picked this post to respond
to everyone. I am better educated now and can see if the yutz will
pony up any real evidence or not about his E-bay "bargain."

This could be fun in a "you learned a lesson" sort of way. Does this
mean it (OEM version) will not install on another brand (another
configuration) machine?

There is no such thing as a "corporate" version of Windows XP.
Likely, you'll purchase a "pirated" copy that is ineligible for updates
and is 100% illegal. Purchase Windows XP from a reputable company.

MS has only published two VL Product IDs that have been pirated. If the
ebay copy doesn't have one of the two Product IDs, then you cannot get a
"slam-dunk."

Hello Bruce,

There is actually a volume license or "enterprise" version of XP that is not
an upgrade. It does not need to be activated, but does need a key just as
any XP install would.

Said it before, I'll say it again. There is a corporate version. A legal
version that does not require activation.

Would you care to visit www.microsoft.com and find a link
to the "corporate" version of Windows XP? It does not exist!

A "Volume License" version of Windows XP does exist, does
not require Product Activation, can be purchased only if you
purchase a minimum of five licenses, and is not called "corporate".

VL is often called "corporate." MS just doesn't call it that, but many
of its customers do.

That would only mean it isn't referenced on MS' site, not that it "does not
exist".

You're changing the subject. Tombraider exists too and doesn't require
activation.

It doesn't matter how many times you say it, it is *not* correct.

There *is* a legal version that is sold to corporations, and
doesn't require activation. It's called a volume licensed
version.

There is *no* version that is called "corporate version." The
term "corporate version" is used almost exclusively to refer to
pirated versions.

We call it "corporate", we're a "customer", we paid for it, and are not

Yeah, if you are in the habit of judging people without any evidence to
support your judgement.

Not to mention a great price! I was thinking the other day and, you know, XP
retail is the most expensive thing on a computer, even if one has a TFT
monitor. As far as I am concerned MS are highway robbers charging so much
for a "licence" to use software that one doesn't even own.

Not true. Many people refer to VL as corporate. MS doesn't, but the
last time I looked MS isn't a people.

Until XP, "corporate" was used mostly to refer to VL copies of Windows.
Since XP, those that used the term "corporate" to refer to VL, still use
it.

Only people that are ignorant automatically assume that "corporate"
means "pirated."

You're welcome, Tom.

Too many people around here assume piracy on no evidence whatsoever.

Unless a person comes out and says that "I use Pirated Windows" or "I
distribute Windows to others without the copyright owners permission,"
people should be extremely cautious about throwing around the P-word
willy-nilly.
